King doesn't eat onions, they're considered vegetables unless dried out, rehydrated, and put on a meat of questionable origin shaped into a "rib like" patty and slathered in horrific bbq sauce.
Back Story is a history podcast, I listened to an episode about the US entering WWI. Fascinating to me. The Sedition Act, Wilson's reversal, and the artificial call to arms to "make the world safe for democracy" while simultaneously banning free speech, or at least speech critical of the government. Reminds me of the Lusitania being loaded with munitions, and the ominous warning placed in the newspapers warning citizens of the risks of boarding the Lusitania.
Crazy that the German government knew about the munitions secreted on the passenger ship, while America and Britain denied the secret.

When my wife was finishing her Bachelor's I took her American History class and one of the papers I had to write was about the US entering WWI and I chose to really focus on the Lusitania as well as those exact warnings cautioning Americans from boarding the ship. Hindsight is 20/20.

Philosophize This!
This is the best podcast. It really is. Kind of a shame it won't be recognized that way until later.
I'll check it out! I'm so far behind on my podcasts it's ridiculous. I'm listening to an episode of the Mike Drop Podcast (Mike Ritland, former SEAL) with Benito Olson (USN dog handler that spent most of his time in the Navy in SEAL platoons as a dog handler) from effing March 1.

If you are in a 'thinky' mood, it will scratch that itch. The early stuff is great, but the show really comes into its own with the arrival of Descartes. Most accessible, relevant delivery of the framework of our existing human bias and thought-framework. Can't recommend it enough for those that want to challenge their thinking. The guy is certainly a commie atheist, but I think you'll like him SR. Davii would dig this too, if I had to guess.

Hawg - you ever read any Michael Pollan? I embarrassingly didn't know who he was before last week - he was on the longform podcast to talk about his new book about microdosing... I'm fascinated with this guy now - want to read more of his work.
Revisionist History is back.
I listened to this episode. It was worth the listen. Pollan came across as exceedingly modest and genuine, rare traits in such an able person. I can see why you like him.
Some people when they use words, they use the right ones and no others. It makes me so jealous.
Philosophize This has a couple new episodes out, 2 parts on Karl Schmitt's scathing critique of Liberalism (the idea that political bodies [such as the USA] actually benefit from the white-gloved dialectic we assume is the central premise of an open-form debate-based rational political process ** not to be confused with liberal conservative stuff). I can't recommend this one enough. It's like water in the desert.
